Gyrocopter abilities

Rocket Barrage

Launches a salvo of rockets at nearby enemy units in a radius around the Gyrocopter. Lasts 3 seconds.

Homing Missile

Fires a homing missile to seek the targeted enemy unit. The missile gains speed over time, dealing damage and stunning when it impacts the target. Enemy units can destroy the missile before it reaches its target.

Aghanim's Shard: Homing Missiles now constantly fires the current level of Rocket Barrage in a 700 area of effect after 1 second of being cast. This Rocket Barrage prioritizes the Homing Missile target.

Flak Cannon

Gyrocopter's attacks hit all enemy units in an area around it for a limited number of attacks. Only the main target of attacks will receive attack bonuses such as Critical Strike. Lasts 12 seconds or until the attacks are used.

Afterburner

Gyrocopter gains movement speed for a short duration after damaging an enemy with his attacks or abilities.

Side Gunner

Gyrocopter gains a Side Gunner that attacks enemy units in a 700 unit radius every 1.3s with his attack. Prioritizes furthest unit away within its range.

Call Down

Call down 3 aerial missile strikes that slow and damage enemy units in a target area. Each strike is 500 distance from the previous one.

With his arsenal of firepower at the ready, Gyrocopter soars into battle. Blasting all nearby enemies with shots from his cannon or hammering them with a barrage of rockets, if he is able to gather his full strength, he demolishes foes with ease.
